“Its been a fantastic experience. We are totally delighted by what we’ve got."

"I think its very important for young people to experience working hands on."

"It was a really impressive project from beginning to end. We Rise is a great concept and it was a pleasure to work with you on this. High energy and so professional. We learned a lot."

"It's been a great experience. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster. I’ve seen them come in as really quiet, timid students and they’ve left saying they want to be directors, scriptwriters, presenters.. and that’s what you want. You want to be able to inspire a new generation. I’ve loved coaching and mentoring them."

"It was an absolute joy to work with We Rise and their young people. They provided unique insights into our businesses which were fed back in a mature, intelligent way."

"Working with We Rise has been an absolute pleasure. Abigail and Polly knew what we were trying to do with the young people and helped us plan and support them so at the end of this work experience they can walk away with something they are proud of and say “I made this"

"I am still excited about the presentation from the students on the We Rise project. They presented their findings with clarity, confidence and ease with their material usually seen with well-experienced researchers."

"Absolutely brilliant ideas. You left me in no doubt that you could deliver a campaign."

"The press-gang project was a great concept. It meant the Brixton Bugle and the Brixton Design Trail could engage with eleven work experience students over a longer period than either could have done on their own. I certainly would have been daunted at the idea of taking on such large numbers of students at once. But it worked!"

"The We Rise programme has been absolutely outstanding. It’s working with young people who sometimes live in really challenging environments, and it’s opened the world for them, it’s shown them businesses, it’s given them confidence, their horizons are expanded, they’re going to go far."

"It’s been incredibly joyous having the We Rise Team come into school over the last few months. We are incredibly grateful for everything that your team has done."

"The coaching sessions have made a massive impact! I’ve loved watching you guys being at the coaching sessions just thinking about what you want to be in the future."

We Rise allows young people like me to feel empowered. I felt as if my voice and ideas was being heard and put into action and the final result of my time with We Rise and ITV was an amazing video.
